Green beans and mushrooms with tarragon cream sauce
This comforting summer dish really celebrates the verdant vegetables of the season. Vibrant broad beans and green beans are kept al dente to provide crunch amid the richness of the cream, and plenty of herbs and lemon zest keep this vegetarian dish light and fresh.
This delicious vegetarian dish is somewhere between a stroganoff and a fricassee. Despite it’s cream sauce base, it’s a lovely fresh summer dish as the fresh vegetables are only cooked for a few minutes to retain some bite. It’s finished off with lots of herbs and lemon zest again keeping it light and fresh. Feel free to switch up the herbs and vegetables for whatever you have in your fridge– peas, baby gem lettuce or sweetcorn are all great additions. The dish makes a great vegetarian main course served up with crusty bread or silky mashed potatoes.
